The actor Jonathan Majors appeared in court in New York on Wednesday where jury selection is expected to begin in a trial where he is accused of injuring his then-girlfriend during an argument last spring.

The trial could play a big role in what happens next with Majors, who had emerged as a breakout star with major roles in films, including Creed III, and who was being set up as the next great supervillain in the Marvel multiverse.
